Bell Bros, Schedule.

This schedule as filed shows the liabili-
ties to be S4l, 657 SO; assets S26,94l SO. or
the aggregate assets only S5,465.l6 is
outstanding debts, the rest stock on
hand. This amount does not cover the
actual debts due, but only such rs are
available as assets, and which are about
30 per cent. Of the whole. The rest are
deemed worthless, owing to the same
causes which led to the failure of the
firm. The stock hes been listed at cost,
but a reduction of from 10 to 20 per
cent. must be made on this In order to
approximate the present value, owing
to changes in style and shelf worn
goods. The statement as to creditors
In this mornings Express is quite mis-
leading. The heaviest creditor outside
the family is Carter Slecor & Co., s., G33.-
81. For money advanced and acoruing
interest, Miss Maggie Bell SS,S53: Mrs.
j. M. Bell $3,066.l6; Mrs Anna Henson,
wife Of former employe, 5000. The
balance lie distributed among 30 or 60
creditors in the east and north. No pre-
ferred creditors were designated, the
firm believing that the members of their
own families and their friends should
share equally with the rest. Could the
firm have made collections they would
have continued business. No time has
been set for the meeting of creditors,
but letters received from the principal
creditors at the east express q perfect
willingness to settle on any terms that
Bell Bros. deem equitable. From the
tenor of these letters il is evident that
the general feeling among creditors is to
put the house once more upon its feet,
and In the way Of doing business.

How to Reduce Your Expenses.

You can do 1t easily, and you will not have
TO deprive yourself of a single comfort: on
the contrary you VIII enjoy IRE more than
ever. How can you accomplish this result?
Easily; cut down your doctors bills. When
you lose your appetite, and become bilious
and cOnstipated, and therefore lOw-spirted,
don't rush OFF TO the family physician for a
prescription, or, on the other hand, wait until
you are sick abed before doing anything at
all; but just go to the druggists and for
twenty-five cents get supply of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets. Take them as di-
rected, and our word for it, your unpleasant
symptoms will disappear as il by magic, you
will have no big doctors bill to pay, and
everybody interested except the DOCTOR, will
feel haDDy.

Texas land and stock are reported late

A SENSATIONAL STORY DENIED.

DIR. Geo. ThieIO Says No Effort was Made
to Resuse1tate the Body OF August Spies.
the Dead Anarchist-The Only Case OF
the Kind Recorded by science-It Proved
a Failure.
CHICAGO, Ill, November 22.-Ihe story
circulated TO the effect that efforts were
made to resuscitate the body Of August
Spies after his execution, by DR., Geo. The
10, who examined the body after it was de-
liYered to his friends, and pronounced life
TO be totally extinct. This afternoon DR..
ThielO said: "When the body was brought
to MuslleE's undertaking establishment,
some of the people present thought they per
ceivsd unusual warmth IN the corpse and
the remains, and was sOOl convinced that
death had interviewed, and that any attempt
at reViVication by a galVauic battery or any
other MEANS would be useless, and / so
informed the gentlemen present. There
was but one case known to
medical science, where a man judiC-
tally hung has been resuscItated. That
case occurred IN Austria a few years ago.
The criminal hing for fifteen minutes and
when cut down was turned over to the ply
siciAns for an experiment. Another five
minutes from the time he was cut down, or
within twenty minutes from the time the
drop fell, the body was on the operating
table and powerful galvanic current ap-
great deal of labor was taken in pro lucing
artificial respiration, and the electricity be
ing constantly applied, the subject revived,
but in a state of wild deliriuIn. From this
be never recovered, and in tWenty-fOuR
hours he died.
